MAUBREUIL has been sentenced par contudiace, by the Court at Douay, to five years' imprison ment, a fine of 500 francs, and 10 years' staved- lance. A dreadful fire broke out the 30th olt. at Salz buig, the Capital of the Duchy of that name, belonging to Austria, which destroyed the superb residence of AIIHALEL, the Bari acks, the Palace of the Count de LoptioN, the Convtnt of Saint Loretto, se v eral large Warehouses, Churches, and many entire streets. The damage is immense. Th e fl ames were no t extinguished on the evening of the Ist instant, when the Courier who brought the intelligence left the place.

Extract of a Letter, dated St. Thomas's, March 28, 1818, to a Merchant in Lancaster. " Owing to the advance of the l'a , riots to wards the Caraccas, we hive this day had intelli gence of General MOH ILLo having completely de feated them. He i,ad succeeded in forming .a junction with the rest of his troops previons to the battle ; he will, no doubt, immediately ad- vance against Augustus." The above is the only article of any importance in our Ship News of this day. We were wrong in our conjecture that • Lord HOLLAND might , possibly intend, by the motion which he had announced tespetting Autvas, to support the measure for guarding the Country against their intrusion. On the contrary, he ob jected to that measure last night, but was very ,ably answered by' the Eat! of LIVERPOOL, who gave the most satisfactory reasOns for the con-. tinnance of an ALIFs ACT. ilk Lordship asked, as we did yesto : dvy, why England was to be made the refuge of every had man from every country, whose ctimes, or whose mischievous principles, had obliged him to quit his own ? We compel ships to pet form Quarantine when they may be supposed to have on board the seeds of a contagious dsordur, and can any disorder be more dangerous thrill that of Jaeobinism, which infected the rabble in every part of Europe ? ‘ire are astonished that any men professing public virtue, and who have a great stake in the Coun try, can not only appear indifferent about its welfare, but absolutely opposing measures neces sary for its protection. GENERAL ELECTION.—The report gains ground, and with increasing, strength, that this event will take place at the end of the present month. Now then is the time for the Constituertt Body to look about them. Not to listen to specious De elaimets, and Jacob nical Politicians, who have no aims but at power, and who, after all their pretences of popular feelings, feel only for them selves. Men of property, and of sound constitu tional principles, should be the objects of their choice, and then their essential interests will be secured from venality on the one hand, and de mocratical ambition on the other. THISTLEWOOD.-1n our account - yesterday of the Trial of this man we did not think it neces sary to state that he was attended by WATsoN, the Doctor, as he is stiled, who took notes of what passed in Court. This WATsolv is abso lutely incorrigible. He escaped capital punish ment himself, his Son is obliged to leave the country on a charge of Murder, and, though he will probably never see that Son anymore, unless he should rid us of himself also, yet this miserable Dabbler in Politics still perseveres in the same course ; and it is a proof of the open integrity of our Courts of Justice, that such a man, who was brought there as a culprit, should be permitted to intrude himself in mid of a Brother Returner. The Dicke Of WELLINGTON had a long audience of the Pitt NGE REGENT yesterday, Et Carlton Yesterday the Prince of HESSE 1 - lomßoußG, at tended by Baron .

The Duke of DEVONSHIRE, who is considered as a personal friend of the Imperial Family of Russia, will leave town in a few days for the Con tine!), in order to accompany the Grand Duke MICHEL to England. As Mr. KEAN was lately retiring from his pro fessional labours at the Theatre, he was accosted by a half-starved and naked Negro, who most earnestly solicited shine assistance from hint.— [hiving in vain searched his pocke!s for money, he took off his great coat, which he gave to the beggar, and disappeared.—(Morning Paper) oinerset [louse is at length to be completed : an eastern wing, to correspond with that contain ing the Lottery-Office on the right, is now building on the hitherto waste ground adjoining Strand lane. Waterloo Midge is lighting with beautiful lamps raiied 00 cast iron. INIELANCIIULY AcCIDENT.-Yesterday morn ing two children, one aged seven and the other nine years, sons to Mr. Bray, Farmer, of Bran wood, near Edmonton, were playing in. the fields with sc,me other children near the side of the •Nicw River, having along with them a little dog belonging to their filth i er, which the youngest of the brothers took .and threw into the river to learn it to swim, but - perceiving that the dog was paddling in the water, and not advancing, Ise supposed it , was drowning, and called to his brother to come and get it out. On time other com ing to the spot, and thinking that the dog was in danger, he began to cry, and at the impulse of the moinent•he jumped into the water, which was in the deepest part of the Liver, and sunk to rise no more. The cries of the other little innocent at tracted the notice of a labouring man,whohastened ro the spot on being told of the circumstance . , to atford what assista nce h e cou ld, an d who had the greatest difficulty imaginable to Frevent the youngest child trout plunging into the water, as he ,aid, to save his poor brother. When the body was got out it was (pile dead, and was taken home to the indescriblt 5t *lel and agony of the poor parents. DEFERRED STOCK. Monday SO f. 40 c. It may be thought, that in the frequent insertion of Letters tram Paris, of which we this day present another to our Readers, we deal too much in F ench politics, but reflecting people, who know that the tranquillity of Europe in a great degree depends on the state of France, the power which it may again recover, and the use which it may make of that power, will be of a different opiniou, and attach considerable interest to all the movements 'of the French Factions, and the conduct of the French Cabinet. We are by no means convinced by the reasonings of our Correspondent at Paris, much as we respect his abilities, rely on his sincerity, und acknowledge his opportunities for forming a better judgment on French affairs than ourselves, that it would be safe to remove the Allied Troops from France. The sub j•...et is of essential importance, and we should rather hope that the expected MeeLiog of the SOVEREIGNS is for the putpose of examining the question, thoroughly, than for corning together wiih a pre vious disposition to withdraw those Armies that, as we have often said, from a protection to France itself, as well as to the rest of Europe. PRIVATE AND AUTHENTIC CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, MAY 12.—0 n the death of M. GOVPY all pat-lies turned their attention towards finding a person to replace him. The Ultras, as I have already stated, turn their eyes on M. OLIvIER, a very good sort of a man, and worthy, by his nul lity, to represent a Party which no longer has or can have any influence. The Ministerialists thought of M..BARTHELEMY, who is no less Ultra than M. OLIVIER ; they are since divided, and many thiuh of the Advocate, M. BONNET, a sen sible and enlightened man, and a good citizen.— Others speak of M. CHAPTAL. They acknow ledge that he was wrong in .playing a part during the hundred days, but they remark that during this period M. CHAPTAL, being President of the Electoral College of Paris, l►e courageously ab stained from making the Members of the College take any oath whatever, ,and that being sent by BuosAr4nTe to Lyons, lie conducted himself with the same spirit of moderation that M. BOISSY IYANGLAS manifested at Bourdeaux. These Dis sidents, whom I would call Independant Minis terialists, strengthen the party (t M. Cu APTAL, the mass of which chiefly consists of merchants and manufacturers. The Journalists and literary men of the Opposition, united to sonic of the first Bankers of the Capital, declare in favour of AL MANUEL ; some, however, will only give him their votes unless they cannot secure the election of M. DE CONSTANT. The Judges and Lawyers of the Opposition push forward with vigour M. GILBERT DES Volsixs. It is difficnlt to say what party will win the day. It may, however, be foreseen that neither M. OLIVIER nor M. BARTHELEMY will he elected. Much doubt is entertained as'to what will be the conduct of the Departments this year, for you know that one-fifth of the Deputies go out every year. The Independ ants strongly insist on the necessity of rejecting every man who holds a place under Government this doctrine daily gains ground, and the reason is very simple—a great number, the Agents of Government, have gone over to the Ultra Riiyalist Opposition, and they are a torment to the People, decrying the Government, and striving to raise public opinion against it. If ever this fatal doctrine should be established in France, that no one . should he elected as a Deputy but men who were not employed under Government, the Ministry has only to blame itself, for it only de pendson the Ministers to chose its Agents amongst, just and moderate men. The Law of Elections is perfectly good in this respect, that it leaves a great liberty to opinion, but for this very reason it be comes dangerous to Government, when the public voice is against it ; and opinion can never be fa vourable when the Public Functionaries, instead of being the protectors of the citizens, become their oppressors. It is wished to subdue the pas sions of a party by opposing to it contrary pas sions ; what folly ! Strength united with mode ration can alone remedy the evil ;. and I appre hend that the ensuing Elections will decide the fate of France, and demonstrate the wisdom or the ignorance of the Ministry. I know that many of the Departments sigh under the odious and ridiculous despotism of a Military Commandant, a Prefect, a Sub Prefect, an In spector of the National Guard, a President of the Tribunal, a Procureur-General, a Procureur du Rol, a Receiver-General, and of all the adherents of those miserable petty tyrants. To a certainty the People will not choose such men to represent them. They will seek, on the contrary, their de fenders amongst the men 'who will promise to break the yoke that oppresses them ; the blind Ministerialists will not then tail to say that the, law of Elections is vicious, but men of sense will answer that the vice is not its the law, but in the want of foresight and prudence in the Ministry. UNIVERSI ry INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, MAY I4,—The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Camhtidge has appointed Thurs day, the 2lst of May instant, for the election Into the IVoodwavdian Professorship, vacated by the resignation of the Rev.
